32 — Deuteronomy

1Hear, O ye heavens, the things I speak, let the earth give ear to the words of my mouth.Udite, o cieli, il mio parlare; e ponga mente la terra alle parole della mia bocca.HEARE ye heauens what thinges I speake, the earth heare the wordes of my mouth.Audite, cæli, quæ loquor: / audiat terra verba oris mei. 2Let my doctrine gather as the rain, let my speech distil as the dew, as a shower upon the herb, and as drops upon the grass.Stillin qual pioggia i miei insegnamenti; scendan come rugiada i miei sermoni, come gli spruzzi sopra dell'erba, e come la pioggia sopra le piante.My doctrine grow together as raine, my speach flow as the dew, as it were a shower vpon the herbe, and as it were droppes vpon the grasse.Concrescat ut pluvia doctrina mea, / fluat ut ros eloquium meum, / quasi imber super herbam, / et quasi stillæ super gramina. 3Because I will invoke the name of the Lord: give ye magnificence to our God.Perocché io invocherò il nome del Signore: diasi gloria al nostro Dio.Because I wil inuocate the name of our Lord: geue magnificence to our God.Quia nomen Domini invocabo: / date magnificentiam Deo nostro. 4The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.Perfette sono le opere di Dio, e tutte le vie di lui sono giustizia: Dio fedele, e scevro d'ogni iniquità, e giusto e retto.The workes of God be perfect, and al his waies iudgementes: God is faithful, and without any iniquitie, iust and right.Dei perfecta sunt opera, / et omnes viæ ejus judicia: / Deus fidelis, et absque ulla iniquitate, / justus et rectus. 5They have sinned against him, and are none of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation.Peccaron contro di lui i non suoi figliuoli colle loro immondezze: generazione prava, e perversa,They haue sinned to him, and not his children in filthines: a froward and peruerse generation.Peccaverunt ei, et non filii ejus in sordibus: / generatio prava atque perversa. 6Is this the return thou makest to the Lord, O foolish and senseless people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made thee, and created thee?Questa è adunque la ricompensa, che tu rendi al Signore, popolo stolto, e mentecatto? Non è egli il padre tuo, il quale ti riscattò, e ti fece, e ti creò?These thinges doest thou render to our Lord thou foolish and vn wise people? Is not he thy father, that hath possessed thee, and made, and created thee?Hæccine reddis Domino, / popule stulte et insipiens ? / numquid non ipse est pater tuus, / qui possedit te, et fecit, et creavit te ?

7Remember the days of old, think upon every generation: ask thy father, and he will declare to thee: thy elders and they will tell thee.Ricordati de' giorni antichi: rammenta ad una ad una le età: interroga il padre tuo, e te ne darà novella: i tuoi avi, e tel diranno.Remember the old daies, thinke vpon euerie generation: aske thy father, and he wil declare to thee: thy elders, and they wil tel thee.Memento dierum antiquorum, cogita generationes singulas: / interroga patrem tuum, / et annuntiabit tibi: / majores tuos, et dicent tibi. 8When the Most High divided the nations: when he separated the sons of Adam, he appointed the bounds of people according to the number of the children of Israel.Allora quando l'Altissimo fece la divisione delle nazioni: allorché separò i figliuoli di Adamo, egli fissò i confini di questi popoli secondo il numero de' figliuoli d'Israele.When the highest diuided the nations: when he separated the sonnes of Adam, he appointed the limites of people according to the number of the children of Israel.Quando dividebat Altissimus gentes, / quando separabat filios Adam, / constituit terminos populorum / juxta numerum filiorum Israël. 9But the Lord’s portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his inheritance.Perocché la porzione del Signore egli è il suo popolo: Giacobbe egli è suo retaggio.But our Lords part, is his people: Iacob the corde of his inheritance.Pars autem Domini, populus ejus: / Jacob funiculus hæreditatis ejus. 10He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye.Trovollo in un paese deserto, in un luogo d'orrore, in una vasta solitudine: lo fe' andar girando qua e là: e lo istruì, e lo custodì, come la pupilla dell'occhio suo.He found him in a desert land, in a place of horrour, and of wast wildernes: he ledde him about, and taught him: and kept him as the apple of his eye.Invenit eum in terra deserta, / in loco horroris, et vastæ solitudinis: / circumduxit eum, et docuit: / et custodivit quasi pupillam oculi sui. 11As the eagle enticing her young to fly, and hovering over them, he spread his wings, and hath taken him and carried him on his shoulders.Come aquila che al volo addestra i suoi parti, intorno ad essi svolazza, stese egli le ali sue, e sel prese sopra di sé, e portollo sulle sue spalle.As the eagle prouoking her young to flie, and houering ouer them, hath he spred his winges, and he hath taken him, and caried him on his shoulders.Sicut aquila provocans ad volandum pullos suos, / et super eos volitans, / expandit alas suas, et assumpsit eum, / atque portavit in humeris suis.

12The Lord alone was his leader: and there was no strange god with him.Il Signore solo fu suo condottiere: né fu con lui alcun dio straniero.Our Lord onlie was his guide: and there was not with him a strange God.Dominus solus dux ejus fuit, / et non erat cum eo deus alienus: 13He set him upon high land: that he might eat the fruits of the fields, that he might suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the hardest stone,Egli lo ha fatto Signore di un paese elevato: affinché mangi de' frutti dei campi, e succhi il miele dalle pietre, e olio tragga da sassi durissimi:He placed him ouer an high land: that he might eate the fruites of the fieldes, that he might sucke honie out of the rocke, and oile out of the hardest stone.constituit eum super excelsam terram, / ut comederet fructus agrorum: / ut sugeret mel de petra, / oleumque de saxo durissimo; 14Butter of the herd, and milk of the sheep with the fat of lambs, and of the rams of the breed of Basan: and goats with the marrow of wheat, and might drink the purest blood of the grape.E il burro si goda delle mandre, e il latte delle pecore, e il grasso degli agnelli, e degli arieti nati in Basan, e i capri, e il fior di farina di grano, e beva il prettissimo sangue delle uve.Butter from the heard, and milke of the sheepe with the fatte of lambes, and of rammes the sonnes of Basan: and bucke goates with the marow of wheate, and might drinke the bloud of the grape most pure.butyrum de armento, et lac de ovibus / cum adipe agnorum, / et arietum filiorum Basan: et hircos / cum medulla tritici, / et sanguinem uvæ biberet meracissimum. 15The beloved grew fat, and kicked: he grew fat, and thick and gross, he forsook God who made him, and departed from God his saviour.Il diletto si è fatto grasso, e ha dati dei calci: ingrassato, ripieno, ridondante abbandonò Dio suo fattore, e si allontanò da Dio suo salvatore.The beloued was made grosse, and spurned: made grosse, fatted, dilated, he left God his maker, and departed from God his saluation.Incrassatus est dilectus, et recalcitravit: / incrassatus, impinguatus, dilatatus, / dereliquit Deum factorem suum, / et recessit a Deo salutari suo. 16They provoked him by strange gods, and stirred him up to anger, with their abominations.Lo irritarono per amore degli dei stranieri, e lo provocarono a sdegno colle loro abbominazioni.They prouoked him in strange goddes, and in abominations stirred him to anger.Provocaverunt eum in diis alienis, / et in abominationibus ad iracundiam concitaverunt. 17They sacrificed to devils and not to God: to gods whom they knew not: that were newly come up, whom their fathers worshipped not.Offeriron vittime non a Dio, ma a' demoni, agli dei non conosciuti da loro: ne venner de' nuovi, e moderni, non onorati da' padri loro.They immolated to diuels and not to God, to goddes, which they knew not: there came new & fresh ones, whom their fathers worshipped not.Immolaverunt dæmoniis et non Deo, / diis quos ignorabant: / novi recentesque venerunt, / quos non coluerunt patres eorum:

18Thou hast forsaken the God that begot thee, and hast forgotten the Lord that created thee.Hai abbandonato Dio, che ti generò, e ti sei scordato del Signore Dio tuo creatore.God that begatte thee thou hast forsaken, and hast forgotten our Lord thy creatour.Deum qui te genuit dereliquisti, / et oblitus es Domini creatoris tui. 19The Lord saw, and was moved to wrath: because his own sons and daughters provoked him.Il Signore vide tal cosa, e si accese di sdegno: perché lo irritarono i suoi figliuoli, e le figlie:Our Lord saw, and was moued to wrath: because his sonnes and daughters prouoked him.Vidit Dominus, et ad iracundiam concitatus est: / quia provocaverunt eum filii sui et filiæ. 20And he said: I will hide my face from them, and will consider what their last end shall be: for it is a perverse generation, and unfaithful children.E disse: Io nasconderò loro la mia faccia, e starò a vedere quel che ne sarà alla fine: perché una stirpe perversa ell'è questa, e figliuoli infedeli.And he said: I wil hide my face from them, and wil confider their last: for it is a peruerse generation, and vnfaithful children.Et ait: Abscondam faciem meam ab eis, / et considerabo novissima eorum: / generatio enim perversa est, / et infideles filii. 21They have provoked me with that which was no god, and have angered me with their vanities: and I will provoke them with that which is no people, and will vex them with a foolish nation.Eglino mi provocarono per amore di uno che Dio non era, e mi tentaron di gelosia colle loro vanità: e io li provocherò a invidia per mezzo di un popolo che non è popolo, e gl'irriterò per mezzo di una nazione insensata.They haue prouokedme in that, which was no God, and haue angred me in their vanities: and I wil prouoke them in that, which is no people, and in a foolish nation wil I anger them.Ipsi me provocaverunt in eo qui non erat Deus, / et irritaverunt in vanitatibus suis: / et ego provocabo eos in eo qui non est populus, / et in gente stulta irritabo illos. 22A fire is kindled in my wrath, and shall burn even to the lowest hell: and shall devour the earth with her increase, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.Il mio furore ha acceso un fuoco che arderà sino al più cupo inferno, e divorerà la terra con tutti i suoi germi, e consumerà le fondamenta de' monti.A fyre is kindled in my wrath, and shal burne euen to the lowest partes of hel: and shal deuoure the earth with her spring, and shal burne the foundations of mountaines.Ignis succensus est in furore meo, / et ardebit usque ad inferni novissima: / devorabitque terram cum germine suo, / et montium fundamenta comburet.

23I will heap evils upon them, and will spend my arrows among them.Tutti i mali verserò insieme sopra di loro, e contro di essi scoccherò tutte le mie saette.I wil heape euils vpon them, and myne arrowes I wil spend in them.Congregabo super eos mala, / et sagittas meas complebo in eis. 24They shall be consumed with famine, and birds shall devour them with a most bitter bite: I will send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the fury of creatures that trail upon the ground, and of serpents.Saran consunti dalla fame, e divorati dagli uccelli di crudo rostro: contro di essi aguzzerò i denti delle fiere, e il furore delle bestie, che si strascinano, e serpeggiano sopra la terra.They shal be consumed with famine, and birdes shal deuoure them with most bitter biting: the teeth of beastes wil I send vpon them, with the furie of those that traile vpon the ground, and creepe.Consumentur fame, / et devorabunt eos aves morsu amarissimo: / dentes bestiarum immittam in eos, / cum furore trahentium super terram, atque serpentium. 25Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years.Li lacererà al di fuori la spada, al di dentro il terrore, i giovinetti insieme, e le vergini, i bambini di latte, e i vecchi.Without shal the sword deuoure them, & within fearefulnes, the young man and the virgin together, the sucking child with the old man.Foris vastabit eos gladius, / et intus pavor, / juvenem simul ac virginem, / lactentem cum homine sene. 26I said: Where are they? I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.Io dissi: Dove or sono eglino? Farò che non resti di lor memoria tra gli uomini.I said: Where are they? I wil make their memorie to cease from among men.Dixi: Ubinam sunt ? / cessare faciam ex hominibus memoriam eorum. 27But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud, and should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, hath done all these things.Ma pur differii a riguardo dell'arroganza dei loro nemici: perché questi nemici non s'insuperbissero, e non dicessero: Egli è il nostro braccio possente, e non il Signore, che ha fatte tali cose.But for the wrath of the enemies I haue differred: lest perhaps their enemies might be proude, and would say: Our mightie hand, and not the Lord, hath done al these thinges.Sed propter iram inimicorum distuli: / ne forte superbirent hostes eorum, / et dicerent: Manus nostra excelsa, / et non Dominus, fecit hæc omnia.

28They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom.Ella è una nazione sconsigliata, e imprudente.A nation without counselis it, and without wisedome.Gens absque consilio est, / et sine prudentia. 29O that they would be wise and would understand, and would provide for their last end.Ah, se avesser prudenza, e intelligenza, e prevedesser la fine!O that they were wise, and vnderstoode, and would prouide for their last.Utinam saperent, et intelligerent, / ac novissima providerent. 30How should one pursue after a thousand, and two chase ten thousand? Was it not, because their God had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?Come mai può un sol uomo metterne in fuga mille, e due sbaragliarne dieci mila? Non avvien egli questo, perché il loro Dio gli ha venduti, e il Signore gli ha stretti in catena?How should one pursew a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight? was it not therfore, because their God sold them, and our Lord inclosed them?Quomodo persequatur unus mille, / et duo fugent decem millia ? / nonne ideo, quia Deus suus vendidit eos, / et Dominus conclusit illos ? 31For our God is not as their gods: our enemies themselves are judges.Imperocché non è il nostro Dio come gli dei loro; e ne sien pur giudici i nostri nemici.For our Lord is not as their goddes: our enemies also are iudges.Non enim est Deus noster ut dii eorum: / et inimici nostri sunt judices. 32Their vines are of the vineyard of Sodom, and of the suburbs of Gomorrha: their grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters most bitter.Vigna di Sodoma, e delle vicinanze di Gomorra è diventata la loro vigna: la loro uva è uva di fiele, e di sugo amarissimo.Of the vineyard of Sodom, is their vineyard, and of the suburbes of Gomorrha: their grape the grape of gall, and the clusters most bitter.De vinea Sodomorum, vinea eorum, / et de suburbanis Gomorrhæ: / uva eorum, uva fellis, / et botri amarissimi. 33Their wine is the gall of dragons, and the venom of asps, which is incurable.Il loro vino è fiel di dragoni, e veleno di aspidi irremediabile.The gall of dragons their wine, and the venime of Aspes vncurable.Fel draconum vinum eorum, / et venenum aspidum insanabile. 34Are not these things stored up with me, and sealed up in my treasures?Non si fa egli conserva presso di me di tutto questo, e non è egli registrato ne' miei archivii?Are not these thinges laid vp with me, and signed in my treasures?Nonne hæc condita sunt apud me, / et signata in thesauris meis ? 35Revenge is mine, and I will repay them in due time, that their foot may slide: the day of destruction is at hand, and the time makes haste to come.A me si spetta il farne vendetta, e io renderò a suo tempo quel che lor è dovuto, e i piedi mancheran sotto ad essi: il giorno dello sterminio è imminente, e il tempo s'affretta a venire.Reuenge is myne, and I wil repay them in time, that their foote may slide: the day of perdition is at hand, and the times make hast to be present.Mea est ultio, et ego retribuam in tempore, / ut labatur pes eorum: / juxta est dies perditionis, / et adesse festinant tempora.

36The Lord will judge his people, and will have mercy on his servants: he shall see that their hand is weakened, and that they who were shut up have also failed, and they that remained are consumed.Il Signore giudicherà il suo popolo, e farà misericordia a' suoi servi, veggendo come è illanguidito ogni braccio, e che quelli pure che erano in luoghi muniti, son venuti meno, gli avanzi stessi sono periti.Our Lord wil iudge his people, and wil haue mercie on his seruantes: he shal see that their hand is weakened, and the shut vp also haue fayled, and the residew be consumed.Judicabit Dominus populum suum, / et in servis suis miserebitur: / videbit quod infirmata sit manus, / et clausi quoque defecerunt, / residuique consumpti sunt. 37And he shall say: Where are their gods, in whom they trusted?Ed ei dirà: Dove sono que' loro dei, nei quali ebber fidanza?And he shal say: Where are their goddes, in whom they had confidence.Et dicet: Ubi sunt dii eorum, / in quibus habebant fiduciam ? 38Of whose victims they ate the fat, and drank the wine of their drink offerings: let them arise and help you, and protect you in your distress.Delle vittime ad essi offerte ei mangiavano il grasso, e beveano il vino di libagione; or questi si sveglino, e vi porgano aiuto, e nelle necessità vi proteggano.Of whose victimes they did eate fatte, and dranke the wine of their libamentes: Let them arise, and help you, and protect you in necessitie.de quorum victimis comedebant adipes, / et bibebant vinum libaminum: / surgant, et opitulentur vobis, / et in necessitate vos protegant. 39See ye that I alone am, and there is no other God besides me: I will kill and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal, and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.Imparate che io solo son Dio, e altro non havvene fuor di me: io uccido, e io rendo la vita; ferisco, e risano, e non è chi possa sottrarre altrui alla mia podestà.See ye that I am onlie, and there is no other God besides me: I wil kil and I wil make to liue: I wil strike, and I wil heale, and there is none that can deliuer out of my hand.Videte quod ego sim solus, / et non sit alius deus præter me: / ego occidam, et ego vivere faciam: / percutiam, et ego sanabo, / et non est qui de manu mea possit eruere. 40I will lift up my hand to heaven, and I will say: I live for ever.Alzerò al cielo la mia mano, e dirò: Come io vivo in eterno,I wil lift vp my hand to heauen, and wil say: I liue for euer.Levabo ad cælum manum meam, / et dicam: Vivo ego in æternum. 41If I shall whet my sword as the lightning, and my hand take hold on judgment: I will render vengeance to my enemies, and repay them that hate me.Così quando io ruoterò qual folgore la mia spada, e quando la mano mia si armerà per far giudizio, farò vendetta de' miei nemici, e a coloro che mi odiano, renderò il contraccambio.If I shal whette my sword as the lightening, and my hand take iudgement: I wil repay vengeance to myne enemies, and them that hate me wil I requite.Si acuero ut fulgur gladium meum, / et arripuerit judicium manus mea: / reddam ultionem hostibus meis, / et his qui oderunt me retribuam.

42I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, of the blood of the slain and of the captivity, of the bare head of the enemies.Inebrierò di sangue le mie saette, del sangue degli uccisi, e de' prigionieri che hanno il capo tosato, la mia spada divorerà le loro carni.I wil embrew my arrowes with bloud, and my sword shal deuoure flesh, of the bloud of the slaine and of captiuitie, of the bare head of the enemies.Inebriabo sagittas meas sanguine, / et gladius meus devorabit carnes; / de cruore occisorum, de captivitate, / nudati inimicorum capitis. 43Praise his people, ye nations, for he will revenge the blood of his servants: and will render vengeance to their enemies, and he will be merciful to the land of his people.Nazioni, date laude al popolo del Signore; perocché questi farà vendetta del sangue de' servi suoi, e farà pagare il fio a' loro nemici, e spanderà sua misericordia sopra la terra del popol suo.You gentiles prayse his people, because he wil reuenge the bloud of his seruantes: and wil repay vengeance vpon their enemies, and wil be propitious to the land of his people.Laudate, gentes, populum ejus, / quia sanguinem servorum suorum ulciscetur: / et vindictam retribuet in hostes eorum, / et propitius erit terræ populi sui. 44So Moses came and spoke all the words of this canticle in the ears of the people, and Josue the son of Nun.Mosè adunque, e con lui Giosuè figliuolo di Nun, annunziò tutte le parole di questo cantico dinanzi al popolo che ascoltava.Moyses therfore came and spake al the wordes of this canticle in the eares of the people, he and Iosue the sonne of Nun.Venit ergo Moyses, et locutus est omnia verba cantici hujus in auribus populi, ipse et Josue filius Nun. 45And he ended all these words, speaking to all Israel.E finì di spiegar tutte queste cose a tutto Israele.And he finished al these wordes, speaking to the children of Israel.Complevitque omnes sermones istos, loquens ad universum Israël, 46And he said to them: Set your hearts on all the words, which I testify to you this day: which you shall command your children to observe and to do, and to fulfil all that is written in this law:E disse loro: Ponete mente a tutte le parole che io vi ho oggi intimato, affinché raccomandiate a' vostri figliuoli di osservare, e fare, e adempire tutte quante le cose prescritte in questa legge:and he said to them: Sette your hartes on al the wordes, which I testifie to you this day: that you command them to your children to keepe and to doe, and to fulfil al thinges of this law that are written:et dixit ad eos: Ponite corda vestra in omnia verba, quæ ego testificor vobis hodie: ut mandetis ea filiis vestris custodire et facere, et implere universa quæ scripta sunt legis hujus:

47For they are not commanded you in vain, but that every one should live in them, and that doing them you may continue a long time in the land whither you are going over the Jordan to possess it.Perocché non a caso sono state comandate, ma affinché ognun di voi per esse abbia vita: e ponendole in esecuzione dimoriate per lungo tempo nella terra, di cui, valicato il Giordano, entrerete in possesso.for not in vaine are they commanded you, but that euerie one should liue in them: which doing you may continew a long time in the Land, which passing ouer Iordan you enter to possesse.quia non incassum præcepta sunt vobis, sed ut singuli in eis viverent: quæ facientes longo perseveretis tempore in terra, ad quam, Jordane transmisso, ingredimini possidendam. 48And the Lord spoke to Moses the same day, saying:E il Signore parlò in quello stesso giorno a Mosè, e disse:And our Lord spake to Moyses in the same day, saying:Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen in eadem die, dicens: 49Go up into this mountain Abarim, (that is to say, of passages,) unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho: and see the land of Chanaan, which I will deliver to the children of Israel to possess, and die thou in the mountain.Sali su quel monte Abarim (vale a dir de' passaggi), sul monte Nebo, che è nella terra di Moab dirimpetto Gerico: e mira la terra di Canaan, la quale darò in dominio a' figliuoli d'Israele, e muori sopra quel monte.Goe vp into this mount Abarim, that is to say, of passages, into mount Nebo, which is in the Land of Moab against Iericho: and see the Land of Chanaan, which I wil deliuer to the children of Israel to obteyne, and die thou in the mount.Ascende in montem istum Abarim, id est, transitum, in montem Nebo, qui est in terra Moab contra Jericho: et vide terram Chanaan, quam ego tradam filiis Israël obtinendam, et morere in monte. 50When thou art gone up into it thou shalt be gathered to thy people, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:Sul quale quando sarai salito, andrai a riunirti alle tue genti, come morì Aronne tuo fratello sul monte Hor, e si riunì al suo popolo.Which going vp vnto thou shalt be ioyned to thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was layd to his people:Quem conscendens jungeris populis tuis, sicut mortuus est Aaron frater tuus in monte Hor, et appositus populis suis: 51Because you trespassed against me in the midst of the children of Israel, at the waters of contradiction, in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctify me among the children of Israel.Perocché voi peccaste contro di me in mezzo ai figliuoli d'Israele alle acque di contraddizione a Cades nel deserto di Sin, e non mi faceste onore presso i figliuoli d'Israele.because you did preuaricate against me in the middes of the children of Israel at the Waters of contradiction in Cades of the desert of Sin: and you did not sanctifie me among the children of Israel.quia prævaricati estis contra me in medio filiorum Israël ad aquas contradictionis in Cades deserti Sin: et non sanctificastis me inter filios Israël.

52Thou shalt see the land before thee, which I will give to the children of Israel, but thou shalt not enter into it.Tu vedrai dirimpetto a te la terra che io darò ai figliuoli d'Israele, ma non vi entrerai.Ouer against shalt thou see the Land, and shalt not enter into it, which I wil geue to the children of Israel.E contra videbis terram, et non ingredieris in eam, quam ego dabo filiis Israël.
